Samudera Shipping Line H1 2024 profit declined 68.3% year-on-year (YoY) to $28.2m (US$20.9m).

Revenue also dropped 27.1% YoY to $299.6m (US$223m) due to a 28.8% YoY decrease in the container segment to $230m, driven by reduced container volume and lower freight rates.

On the flip side, bulk and tanker revenue rose 63.6% YoY to $17.0m (US$12.7m), reflecting a larger fleet following the addition of two gas carriers.

In addition, logistics storage capacity rose 13.1% YoY to 148,500 pallet positions, and volume handled surged 71.5% YoY to 971,100 pallet equivalents, driven primarily by new customers.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
